In various places I've seen this song slated as being one of Patrick's weaker moments. I don't agree. Live, it's a tour de force, from the simplistic but OH so recognisable intro bleeps, to the lilting trombone parts underpinning the gorgeous chorus.
Not sure why Patrick did not bring back the sweet harmonies of the first chorus for any subsequent choruses though? But that seems to be a trait of Patrick's writing style. ie - whereas most writers would embellish an arrangement later, Patrick will do it early in the song - and then strip back as the track evolves.
Anyway, Get Lost: - Lyrically, it's a treat too, "Leave our bikes at the station" is devinely Patrick. No speeding around picking up the lady in a fancy car for him! And "The drinks are flat and the price is a crime" is basically the story of all my Friday nights!
Nah, I love 'Get Lost'. It deserves its place on the album, and it will always appear on my various personal Patrick Cd compilations.

I like it live, and I liked the old version that was pretty much just uke, and I love the lyrics. I just don't like the recording on the album as much as a lot of his other songs.
I found I got sick of the album version fairly quickly. However, if I haven't listened to it for a while I still love it.

I've loved Get Lost since I saw him play it live w/ the uke on fabchannel.com! It is just so fabulous. The lyrics are adorable, that's the first thing I liked about it. And then in the recorded version, you know? with those quirky videogame-esque bleeps all through it? LOOVEE THOSE! for some reason. They seem to just really make the song. Woo! It is on my summer soundtrack I recently burned, because it reminds me of the beginning of the season.

fabchannel.com/patrick_wolfYou'd need flash for it. The tracklist is wrong so click "to the lighthouse" if you want to see/hear "Get Lost".
